I'm sick of PCOS. I try to stay away from meds and monitor it on my own. I follow a low carb diet, run 4 miles a day, take Vitex to keep my cycle regular. I have 35 day cycles but am still as fat as a cow. I can't take it anymore. I want to be like Janet Jackson and actually lose some weight when I work my azz off.

I want a hysterectomy. I'm tired of this battle and there are ways to get around fighting it. I'm going to call my gyno about getting it done.

Has anyone here ever had one? If so, how was the recovery period?

i don't believe that this would help ... PCOS is about hormones and them being out of control .... so even without your ovaries etc. you would still have the other symptoms, weight/hair etc ....

i would think recovery would be simular to that of a c-section (6wks)

PCOS is a pituitary gland disorder taking out your uterus and your ovaries will not change anything, it can actually make things worse.......

I just had a partial hysterectomy, I still have my ovaries and cervix, but it was an abdominal surgery and the recovery was AWFUL, it is not something that I would go into flippantly, because you spend a good amount of the first 4 weeks feeling lousy and then when you do start feeling better you still are not allowed to do ANYTHING, it SUCKS............

The reason for hysterectomy was completely PCOS unrelated, I was having horrible periods and chronic pelvic pain, now if you are having those issues by all means have the hysterectomy, but don't do it for your PCOS it won't help....

Thanks. I'm just frustrated and feeling like doing something drastic. I'll try something else more rational.

@heddy, glad you're doing better.
